Earlier in the day, Trey Brabham celebrated loudly after doubling through Nathan Nguyen. This roused the ire of tablemate Stephen Bierman and a short while ago the two got into a slinging match across the table.
The floor intervened and, after waiting for the hand involving Brabham and another player to finish, he sent both Bierman and Brabham on one round penalties.
Stephen Bierman and Longsheng Tan have had history over the course of the tournament and in this hand Tan check-called a bet of 100,000 on the 
turn. Tan then bet 175,000 on the 
river and Bierman called.
Tan showed 
for a rivered flush and took down the pot.

Longsheng Tan opened the action to 50,000 on the button and Jason Paradis decided the time was right to get the remainder of his chips in and Tan called the difference. When they turned over their cards, it was a flip as they headed into the flop.
Jason Paradis: 
Longsheng Tan: 
Just like the hand a few minutes ago on the other table, the 
board favored the pair and it was a much-needed double for Paradis.

Jayaram Kovoorchathoth just won a decent pot against John Pannucci and it gives him around 20 percent of the chips in play.
Kovoorchathoth opened to 35,000 and Pannucci three-bet to 85,000. After Kovoorchathoth called, the dealer laid out 
on the flop. Both players checked and they went to the turn.
It came 
and Kovoorchathoth checked to Pannucci, who set the price at 85,000. Kovoorchathoth called and the final card out was the 
, bringing a one-card flush possibility. Kovoorchathoth checked once more and Pannucci bet 110,000. After a brief spell in the tank, Kovoorchathoth made the call.
Pannucci turned over 
but his pair wasn't good enough to beat a pair of kings with 
and Kovoorchathoth has moved a long way ahead of the pack.

The board ran out

.

Trey Brabham:

and Brabham doubled up.

Kfir Nahum:
